In the glut-create-window call, it calls through freeglut and crashes
somewhere in the X server. I originally thought this might be a
linking problem but I think (?) I've ruled that out now.

I originally used UFFI and pure alien only for the callbacks, when
that didn't work I removed the UFFI layer to make sure it wasn't a
UFFI bug.
